Pubs

I wish them well but it is out of the way a little.

Maybe that will be a good thing for them
Ya that always put me of Neil, always found I had to Stop and Rest half way up Fielding Lane, never seemed to get any further:D
 
Looks as though The Queens is having some sort of refurbishment. Notice the pub name signs have been taken off.

It could be the result of action from the P.C. brigade, a name like that might be considered homophobic?

Would taking it down not be homophobic?
Leaving it would be rejoicing in there live and let live attitude.

Who can say? P.C. brigades only want to be seen to be correct, they don't really care about different groups living in harmony.

Wadey, today i saw some decorations on the Commercial Hotel (Church). Wonder what's happening to it.

Well spotted, Bee! And shame on the rest of you!

My guess is that this may have originated with Ossy Mills; they've been complaining about the mess for years. Certainly, the theme of what's been plastered up there - the hard graft of mill workers - suggests that.

One problem, though. The stuff got pasted up there yesterday. As of two hours ago, it was already peeling off. Still, I suppose that's the sort of craftsmanship you would expect from Ossy.

A good friend of mine has lived at York Cottage all his life and told me it used to be a pub.

He isn't sure how long ago it was when it closed but his mother lived in the cottage for years before he was born.

The pub was the York Inn and the cottage is just past Broadfield school on the other side of the road.

Does anybody have any information on it and why it was called York Inn.
